A Smart-Phone Indoor/Outdoor Localization System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper depicts the operation of an integrated system designed for both outdoor and indoor localization, with special emphasis on the latter. It is demonstrated how three different methods of localization can be combined, based on WiFi access points and mobile cells. Not only there is no need to know the exact location of the access points to start using the system, but it also self-improves its own accuracy over time. The application developed to implement this method works on Android OS running devices and it is publicly available for download with the name “Locate Me”. Keywords—Localization, Android, GPS, Wireless Networks, indoor positioning, WiFi, Locate Me

Adaptive Motion Model for a Smart Phone Based Opportunistic Localization System
Localization systems will evolve towards autonomous system which will use any useful information provided by mobile devices taking the hardware specification and environmental limitations into account. This paper demonstrates the concept of opportunistic localization using a smart phone with the following sensor technologies: Wi-Fi, GSM, GPS and two embedded accelerometers. A particle filter ba...
متن کاملIndoor Localization based on Bluetooth Technology: A Brief Review
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a widely used and a very popular system for tracking devices and finding out the location of the devices in the outdoor locations. But it is not successful for indoor localization because of reflections of the signals due to walls and presence of furniture and various other factors causing signal attenuation inside a building. Hence, WLAN, Bluetooth, RFID, Wi-...
متن کاملIndoor air quality monitoring in urban areas using Smart Sensing Technology
Recently, indoor air quality has attracted the attention of policymakers and researchers as a critical issue like that of external air pollution. Indoor air quality is more important as people spend time longer indoors than outdoors. Indoor environments are closed compared to external environments providing less opportunity for the pollutants to dilute. The emissions contain many substances tha...
متن کاملRSSI-based Algorithm for Indoor Localization
Wireless node localization is one of the key technologies for wireless sensor networks. Outdoor localization can use GPS, AGPS (Assisted Global Positioning System) [6], but in buildings like supermarkets and underground parking, the accuracy of GPS and even AGPS will be greatly reduced. Since Indoor localization requests higher accuracy, using GPS or AGPS for indoor localization is not feasible...
متن کاملLocalization based User Tracking Using RSSI Fingerprint
To provide an accurate location many location systems with different technologies such as Wi-Fi, Beacon, GPS, etc,. can be used for indoor localization. One of the Biggest Challenges in indoor localization system is to determine the actual indoor position of the user using smart device (Mobile Phone). To design and implement an indoor localization system based on Received Signal Strength Indica...
